Synopsis:
Story about the Cao brothers in the Three Kingdoms Period in Chinese history is well-known to many Chinese people - two princes competing for both the throne and a legendary beauty named Yin Fu. TVB adapts this classic story to make its biggest production in 2002, titled Where the Legend Begins. Ada Choi plays a radiantly beautiful, intelligent and compassionate beauty Yin Fu, whereas Steven Ma acts as the carefree, kind-hearted and poetically talented Cao Ji. They love each other deeply but Yin Fu is sentenced to death by Cao Ji's brother, Cao Pi, who believes in rumors about her misbehaviors. Fans enjoy seeing Ada Choi and Steven Ma as a couple a lot, as proved by their previous collaboration On the Track or Off. In Where the Legend Begins, they both perform their roles to perfection, winning the Best-loved Characters in Dramas awards in TVB's 2002 Anniversary Show.
Moses Chan and Sonija Kwok take up the two other important roles. Moses Chan is the ambitious Cao Pi, an arrogant and jealous man that Chan enacts so well. His outstanding performance and his handsome appearance in ancient costume not only won him many fans, but also the Most Improved Actor award in 2002. Sonija Kwok, Miss Hong Kong of 1999, plays the wicked Kwok Huen, and Sonija Kwok tackles this villain role pretty well as a new TV actress. Gu Kei Kwan, TVB's famous program hostess, sings and dances in a TV drama for the first time, but her professional performance takes all the viewers by surprise. Other veterans in the supporting cast also give splendid performances.
